We understand the increasing pressures that are placed on the council and sight loss organisations, so we have responded to people’s needs by producing this amazing handy hints guide and increased the amount of our Peer Support and Information Sessions that we hold in local communities. We are delighted to be offering our support to those living with sight loss.”
